SEOUL national University
Aaradhya Rehman, stood at the entrance of the Dance studio with mixed emotions, making her heart pounding. She has got a scholarship to study traditional Korean dance, her dream comes true, even though she got the scholarship, the unfamiliar city ,people ,traditions made her heart heavy, made her feel anxious.
She made her way towards the room. The room was present in a way of soft lightings. Professor Kim Minhae , a person with authority and gracefulness was demonstrating the opening movements of the traditional dance GEOMMU, her movements were flawless with utmost dedication and devotion.
As Aaradhya watches the scene, she feels a magnetic pull towards it. A familiar feeling which she cannot recall ,the rhythmic sound of swords, making her to remember something which is not in her memory.The Sound of the sword's clash were echoing in her mind.
After the class, everyone starts to pack their belongings and leave the room .Aaradhya's thoughts are still lingered, where she starts to mimic the movements that her professor has taught .As she moves, she feels the familiarity increase, which makes her to overthink while she does the moves.
Suddenly, the door creaked open, a tall man from the corridor entered , his dark brown eyes met her.His gaze meets her, nodded his head slightly without the notice of her ,and then he left without any single word or a pleasant smile .
Confusion and curiosity hit her. Why did he enter so abruptly ?and left without telling anything? She questions herself that… why is it comforting at the same time ? .Her mind full of questions . She then starts to feel dizzy and she gets a vivid dream of a woman dancing with dual swords, her face covered with mask, she feels strangely familiar.
She shakes her head and starts to pack her things. She heads back towards her dormitory.When she walks, the cold breeze hit her, the unfamiliar surrounding ,the busy Street, the masked women of her vivid dream …where all strangely familiar, and was lingering in her mind.
